Posey Gait and Transfer Belts help reduce the risk of injury to the patient/resident and the caregiver resulting from a loss of balance or an uncontrolled fall. Gait and transfer belts provide caregivers with a secure hold point while assisting patients/residents during supervised walking and transfers. When not in use, the gait belt can be worn by the caregiver to ensure immediate availability when needed, or can be hung on a hook in the patient’s or resident's room.
Recommended Use: Patients/residents requiring ambulation and/or transfer assistance.
Patient handling injuries account for 25% of all workers compensation claims for the healthcare industry
